1 Claim.

. for use in music rooms in schools, although the unit is. well adapted for use in the home or elsewhere. l

Another object of the present invention is to provide a chair and music stand unit wherein the music stand is readily adjustable both vertically and horizontally relative to the chair so that the sheet music holding rack can be correctly positioned for a player seated on the chair.

A further object is to provide a chair and music stand unit which is portable and need not be. attached to the floor, and

yet is quite stable when in use.

the chair unit as above described may be deta'ched from the music stand and which comprises the following:

An extensible or telescopic standard Hl is mounted in connection with and upstands from.

ture is supported by and projects from opposite It is also an object of the invention to provide 1 a chair and music stand unit which includes a conveniently located sheet-music holding pocket "formed with the chair and depending from one side thereof within easy reach of the player.

A further object of the invention is to provide sides of the standard In at its lower'end; such. foot rest seating at the bottom of the floor an stabilizing standard l0. 7 At its upper end the standard In includes a horizontal rearwardly projecting. and extensible arm assembly 12 which supports a music rack I 3 in rearwardly facing. relationancl at a downward and rearward slope. l

The standard In and the arm assembly l2are maintained in selected positions of adjustment or extension by finger screws l4 and I5 respectively. An upwardly opening two-compartment sheetmusic pocket l6 of rigid construction is secured a simple and inexpensive device, and yet one which will be exceedingly effective for the purpose for which it is designed.

These objects I accomplish by means of such structure and relative arrangement of parts as will fully appear by a perusal of the following specification and claim.

In the drawing similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the-several views: Figure 1 is a perspective view of the chair and music stand unit. t

Figure 2 is a fragmentary front elevation of' the chair and its mount.

Referring now more particularly to the characters of reference on the drawing, the chair and Y music stand unit comprises a chair seat I includihg an upstanding back rest 2; the seat I being supported by a, verticall adjustable telescopic post assembly 3, such assembly including, in the upper element thereof, a horizontalswivel; mount 4. A finger screw 5 secures the telescopic elements of the post assembly 3 in anyselected position of adjustment.

At its lower end the postassembly 3 is supported by a forwardly projecting, horizontal telea scopic base assembly 6 adapted to seat on the floor, and a pair of rearwardly diverging legs "I.

disposed above the floor and including at their outer ends depending floor engaging feet ll. A

finger screw 9 secures the elements of the telescopicbase assembly 6 in any selected position of adjustment. The elementsof said telescopic base assembly '6 are separable, so that if desired in connection with and depends from one side of One compartment I! of the pocket.

the seat I.

I6 is for the large-size sheetmusic, while the remaining and outer compartment I8 is of lesser depth and adapted to receive half-size sheet music.

The above described chair and music stand unit is readily portable from place to place and yet when in use is quite stable due to the employment of the rearwardly divergent legs 1 formed with the floor engaging feet 8, and the transversely elongated foot rest H,

assembly 6 can either be extended or retracted,

as may be necessary to position the foot rest Withineasy reach of such player.

Sheet music on the rack I 3 can be easily replaced by removing the same and depositing it in the pocket l6, and from whichpocket a new sheet of music may then be withdrawn for use.

From the foregoing description it will be read ily seen that I have produced such a device as substantially fulfills the objects of the invention as set forth herein.

. While this specification sets forth in detail the present and preferred construction of the device,

still in practice such deviations from such detail may be resorted to as do not form a departure from the spirit of the invention, as defined by I the appended claim.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and useful and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

A chair unit comprising a floor engaging assembly consisting of a pair of substantially fiat bars adjustably telescoped one within the other and adapted. to rest on the floor, a substantially rectangular upstanding member on the outer end of one bar, said member being adapted to rest on the floor and extending transversely of said one bar to form a foot rest, a seat post upstanding from the outer end of the other bar, a pair of feet inclining rearwardly from the post and adapted to rest on the floor, and a seat on said post.
